HISTORY IN ART.
Customs Ideas of Ancient Nations
Shown In Their Building.
Almost as much can be learned
about ancient tuitions from looking
at what they made or built as by
reading their writings and
For the kind of buildings that
any nation erected depended on
different geog-
building materials, religion
and government.
People in snowy Scotland, for in-
stance, needed very different build-
from those who lived in sunny
Italy. Some countries had forests
and built many wooden houses,
had great quarries so made
use of massive stone, and oilier
countries that had stone or
but had great beds of clay,
like ancient Syria, built their pal-
aces and temples of burned clay
made into bricks. People who lived
among the mountains or by the sea,
as did the people of Greece and
built differently from those who
lived on the level plains of Asia or
Africa. Some nations had many
and built temples for the kind
of worship that their particular re-
required. Christian nations
lavished their skill and money on
grand cathedrals, convents and
cloisters.
In countries where the ruler was
a despot great palaces were built by
slaves, but where there was no great
monarch, as in ancient Greece, there
were no grand private buildings, but
the finest work wan put into great
public buildings for the people.
Yes, if all the books and records
In the world were burned we should
still be able to trace the customs
and ideas of ancient nations by the
structures and works of art that
they have Ames Mead
